I'd love to hear more about your thesis (offline question most likely).
I thought I'd add in the detail that I found on another site about one
pulsar.
"For example, a pulsar called PSR J1603-7202 is known to have a period
of 0.0148419520154668 seconds. However the periods of all radio pulsars
are increasing extremely slowly. The period of PSR J1603-7202 increases
by just 0.0000005 seconds every million years!"
I don't know how close you could get to syncing with a pulsar signal,
but this
is one to discuss.
Thanks
Jim
